@qikipedia This is the same reason they put mirrors in elevators. So you are busy looking at yourself and don't notice how long it takes.

Houston airport kept receiving complaints about the seven minute wait time at luggage collection for one of their routes, so they switched the gate to make the walk there five minutes longer and the complaints stopped.

@michelletweeets Meanwhile the police in Mexico City spent 30min helping lifting my own bike over a street sign, because someone tried to steal it and broke the lock.

How to overcome overwhelm? 1. Take a piece of paper 2. Write down all the things that you need to do 3. Take a highlighter and mark out 3 things that you REALLY need to do 4. Forgot about the rest

Instead of setting a goal to 'launch a business' how about we start by having a goal to 'learn how to launch a business' and do that everyday until we look back and realised we have done it...

Long bus or train rides are my ideal way to reflect and plan for the future. Movement is what keeps my creativity going...

@agentfiftyseven @femkesvs Thanks so much for the recommendations. Been thinking about the Pixel 4a but a used Pixel 3 should do the trick as well.

Got a bit of a crash tutorial last night on React Context thanks to the awesome team I've been working with. Definitely has a strong use case for data that is constantly changing but needs to be reused. Will be looking to implement this more in the future!

@CheshTech_ It's if you mixed Figma with Squarespace together. On it you can build a site from scratch and make changed to designs without ever having to write any line of code at all.

#Webflow seems to be earning more and more popularity as a tool to build websites. What are some of the advantages that could make it better than WordPress? Haven't looked much into it

Why should every designer watch the @ExpanseOnPrime 1. Stunning world building 2. Amazing UI designs 3. Realistic portrayal of Zero G 4. Top notch writing 5. Lot's of time spent developing society and how tech shaped it Sometimes I wish I could work for a show like this

@Lesieu @Telmex @totalplaymx Sorry to hear that. We had a great service from them so far, seems like everyone has a different experience but seem like their social media team reached out already 😉

@alexduffner @Telmex @totalplaymx After we signed with @totalplaymx on Dec 4th, we have been wainting on them to give us service and they lack the courtesy to keep you posted on the status. I should have cancelled by now.

@telmex should be afraid of their competition @totalplaymx We had an issue with our connection. Telmex told it would take 3 days to just "reach out to us", we switched to Totalplay on day 2 and had our service up and running on the same day with twice the speed.
